THERE are indications that efforts will
be made to run third party ticket with
the prohibition amendment in this State
next fall. This can only result in the
defeat of both, for as soon as 1t is evi-
dent that any one is trying to ride into
office on the amendment its fate is
sealed. II the temperance people of the
State want the amendment to win they
must run it on its merits, and keep it as
far away from politics as possible.

Money saved Is Money Earned

Speaking OF clothing and materials TO make
them, for men, women and children, we as
sert that the immense stores Of the Messrs.
Updegraffs, at Hagerstown, are not surpassed
by any stores in the state for quantity, va
riety, latest styles and low prices, and when
you have money TO spend for articles Of wear,
don't lot IL slip though your hands until you
have visited this store and carefully noted
the quality, styles and prices. A dollar saved
IN a dollar made, and the easiest way in this
world to make dollar Is TO save IL. Some
people act otherwise, bat II you value money
don't you do it."

ACCORDING. to the various commercial
reports, the indications are that business
Throughout the country generally will
open up with considerable activity this
fall. But in agricultural communities
like ours, where crops are short and
prices low, 1t is more than likely that
business will be very dull. The pros
perity of manufacturing aud commercial
centres will not have much effect upon
us. What we want is for wheat and
corn to bring a good price and to have
big crops of both.

a CASE of extreme religious zeal is re-
ported from Tennessee. Brother Rich
arc Hunt, a colored preacher, was anx.
ious to hold revival, but he didn't have
the necessary money for the incidental
expenses. He proved equal to the oc-
casion, however, for he stole COW,
and with the proceeds of her sale got
up revival that was the envy of the
county. He had fifteen converts and
six mourners, when the Sheriff closed
the meeting and took the leader to Jail.

The distinguished editor of the
Charlestown Democrat says that his
paper "was established for the sole pur-
pose of publishing a character of infor-
nation that would not otherwise reach
the people of West Virginia. Wetry to
print whatever others suppress" We
can readily believe the above, for our
recollection is that the paper referred to
was started with the intention Of get
ting West Virginia to pay big part Of
Virginia's State debt. Mason had tried
to get the newspapers of the State to
publish what he wanted printed OH the
debt question, and failing to corrupt
them he started an organ of his own.
But it is our opinion that he will find is
as hard to bamboozle the people as it was
TO buy the editors.

The wreck of fast train on the Bal.
timore d Ohio Railroad at the Y in
Washington last week is another hide
Gus reminder Of the dangers Of travel
ing on railroads as they are at present
conducted. This time the air. brakes
refused to work. and heavy train
dashed into the city at fifty miles an
hour, utterly beyond control. Itjumped
the track at o curve, smashed into a
house, and wrecked it, pinning the en-
gineer down to meet u horrible death
from che escaping steam and badly
wounding score Of passengers. 1t is
said the air. brakes were of an old and
inefficient kind, so it Is no wonder the
disaster occurred. So long as railroad
officials devote their whole tim, to
money-grabbing, without any regard to
the safety of their patrons, so long will
these horrors occur. We believe that
nine tenths of the railroad disasters of
the country could be avoided If the COM
panies took proper precautions in regard
to the tracks, equipments, and employee
Of their roads.
